Chapter 64 How to Teach My Wife “What are you happy about?” Damien asked Clarissa. II was evening, and the two were on their way back to the mansion. Clarissa wore a delighted expression laced with a tinge of smug triumph. “That was your first time praising me. Of course I’d be smug about it!” She couldn’t suppress the clation on lier (ace.
“You’re overthinking.” Even so, a small smile tugged at the corner of Damien’s lips.
“Why would you say that?” “I don’t want anyone gossiping about my inability to educate my wife,” Damien continued lightly
Clarissa turned her lead to look out of the window. She decided to ignore Darnien after that.
He always had the tendency to spoil the mood with unnecessary comments.
“Where are you going for your business trip?” Clarissa asked, changing the topic. “Why didn’t you tell me in advance?”
“I’m returning to Florin. Don’t tell Grandpa anything about this.” “Isn’t it just a business trip? Why don’t you want to let him know?” Clarissa cocked her head and looked at Damien, somewhat surprised.
“Just don’t say anything to him. Tell him I’m on a business trip.”
“Wait, so it’s not a business trip?”
Damien no longer answered hier questions. He merely stared ahead of him, looking like he didn’t want to be disturbed at the moment.
Clarissa thought angrily, ‘Fine! Keep it a secret, then! Hmph!’
After that, she spent the next three weeks in the Lawrence residence. Nothing much happened during that period of time. What surprised and delighted Clarissa was that Grandpa Lawrence’s condition didn’t deteriorate at all. In fact, he was showing signs of recovery. Every morning, he would take regular walks outside. He would also go for an occasional swim or two while paying attention to his diet. It was obvious that he had the confidence and a strong resolve to fight his illness. There were times when Clarissa would go on walks and swim with Grandpa Lawrence.
She even told him one time, “Grandpa, you’re really impressive! Not only are you overcoming your fate, but you’re also enjoying every aspect of your life while battling your illness!” All Grandpa Lawrence did in return was smile Clarissa had a feeling that he wanted to meet his great-grandson very badly, hence his motivation to keep living. What if he found out that she wasn’t pregnant with Damien’s child? Just how disappointed would he be?

Over the past twenty days or so, Clarissa visited the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics under the pretense of getting a check-up.
Meanwhile, Dannten finally went on luis so-called business trip. But on the first day of his trip, Madelynn surprised Clarissa by inviting the latter out to a meal.
The former had called Clarissa on her phone that day.
Madelynn threw Clarissa a faint smile. “You’re funny, Miss Jolinson. This place is member exclusive. One year of membership here costs over two hundred thousand dollars. The paparazzi won’t be able to slip here.”
“Then, what is it?” Clarissa felt like she was in a tiger’s den at the moment. All she wanted to do was to hear Madelynn out and leave as soon as she could.
“Do you know the reason I’m wearing white clothes today?”

“Nope.” Clarissa shook her head. “Tomorrow is my father’s death anniversary.” Clarissa’s mind went blank for a long time. So that was the reason why Madelynn was wearing white today! Perhaps it was also the reason why Damien decided to go on his trip. “Death anniversary? Did your father pass away?” Clarissa asked.
anniversary of my dad’s death. He would do the same thing every year without fail. As for me, I don’t have the courage to return home during this time of year. I’m afraid that I might cry so much that I’d be bloated like a pufferfish. My dad saved Damien’s life in the past, so Damien bought a few properties for my mom in Florin. Every year, he’d go back to visit my mom.” Madelynn continued, “Damien and I were in a relationship that lasted for a year. Back then, we swore we’d love each other till the end of time. He worked so hard in his career just so he could marry me, but I was angry at him for not spending enough time with me and ended up going overseas. He spammed me with over a dozen calls per day, and he even went all the way to a different country just to look for me. In the end, I never returned. That was why Damien got mad at me. He told me that if I didn’t return in a year, he’d go and find another woman to ‘ replace me. Now that I’m back, I discover that someone else is now Mrs. Lawrence. A few days ago, he told me that he’d marry me after some days.” Clarissa thought, ‘She’s probably talking about the past because she wants me to abort the baby.’
Frankly speaking, Clarissa knew a little about Damien and Madelynn’s past. Damien still had Madelynn’s pictures decorating his mansion, whereas Madelynn still missed him and wanted Clarissa to divorce him.
Naturally, Clarissa also knew that Damien planned to marry Madelynn in the near future.
